Now maybe it is that I have not only a perfectly shaped head, but slightly smaller ears since I found that the extra space was uncomfortable and is likely a contributing factor to why I was not as impressed with the audio. One of the selling points for the Prism is the large ear canals as the previous iterations all had smaller, less cavernous holes for the ears. As I had mentioned, the build quality is great with the supple yet durable cups and the nice metal frame. For those of you that have not used the Anniversary Edition then you need not worry, this will be one of the highest quality headsets that you can get for under $200. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though the build quality is above-and-beyond better than a majority of other similarly-priced headsets, it still is a far cry from the quality of the Anniversary Edition. The build quality for the Prism is phenomenal which a nice and sturdy metal frame and a soft and cushy band that holds the device in place on your head. Given that the Prism is the 'next big thing' out of the Siberia lineup I had very high expectations of what this headset to do needless to say I am a bit conflicted on the results. This design parody helps with SteelSeries brand recognition and is instantly recognizable as a quality component. On the other hand, the colors on the black Anniversary Edition are slightly different, offering a steel-colored frame where the new Prism is solid black all around likewise the color scheme for the white Anniversary Edition is solid white all around by the new Prism model has a number of black accents. From there the only real similarity that you will find between the two would be in the general aesthetic a quick glance at the white Anniversary Edition next to a black Prism and the unfamiliar eye would call them the same model in two different colors. The Elite Prism looks very similar to the previously mentioned Anniversary Edition though the Prism uses a slightly different frame though the back of the each of the cups are identical. The big question is whether the Siberia Elite Prism is a worth successor to the Siberia Elite lineup and whether it can hold a candle to the Anniversary Edition that we were fortunate enough to review. SteelSeries, awesome as they are, decided to send me a unit and I tore into the gorgeous packaging the moment it hit my desk. With the Siberia Elite Anniversary Edition having done so well, when SteelSeries announced the Siberia Elite Prism model I flew out of my chair and was leaping for a chance to get my hands on a device for a review, after all, its predecessor was perfect in every way. However, we tend to be quite critical in our reviews, rarely finding anything worth the perfect ten while some titles or pieces of hardware, not many have ever managed to get absolutely everything correct. Given the range of games that we have covered over the last four or five years you would think that we would have at least one or two more out there. I recently reviewed the SteelSeries Siberia Elite Anniversary Edition here at Chalgyr's Game Room and it was one of, if not the first review to score a perfect 10. ![]()
